Schneider Easy Review

[@Aquaria]

Got this exact model with the iPenBox subscription for October 2016. Agree with everything you say about it. I've had occasional hard start issues with mine, but other than that, it's a surprisingly good pen for being only 3€. The grip is really what makes this pen a good bargain. It feels great in the hand, better than some expensive pens, I dare say. On the occasions when I do use it, I enjoy writing with it. Mostly, though, I keep it in my pen case for people who want to try a fountain pen. I can hand this over, rather than being a witch and saying that they will touch my beloved Carène over my dead body. That doesn't tend to go over well. But if I have an inexpensive writer like this at hand, then who cares if someone mangles it or walks off with it? I got it for a song, so have at it. I don't usually think about things like this, but I've tried to imagine the market for this pen in Germany. I suspect it's geared as an intro writer for the youth market, or perhaps a school pen with some pizzazz, for those who want something different from the same boring pen that everyone else uses, sort of the accessory for budding hipsters and artsy types. But what do I know?

I really enjoy reviews like this, and it's good to see a very affordable pen that actually looks pretty decent, and more attractive than a Preppy or Varsity. Well, it would if it didn't have the goofy bat graphics, lol.

[@vincenzonaso5341]

Really a great pen. The particular feedback of the nib makes me feel as I'm using a brush. Considering its cost, this pen was a very pleasurable surprise!

[@achimdg6335]

If I would not love your videos, I would not have sent you this pen. But the intro-music, always have to turn off the sound. ;-) But then again, you are the master of your videos, if you decide to use this music, I can live with it or not watch the videos, well, I rather live w/ that music than not watch the videos. And by the "hey there" point I'm like yay! A new review starts! (happy happy joy joy)

[@mariospantouvanos4645]

Well, I'd like to hear your opinion on the ink that came with it, because i can find the pack of 6 schneider cartridges for 0.5 euros in my local stationary shop and i think that it is super cheap.

[@Redstone-1963]

Hi Stephen, i like your pen reviews - very good work. Thank you! By the way: the "placeholder cartridges" that you find in some cartridge fountain pens (especially those cartridges w/o buttom) are usefull for cleaning the section from old ink (just place it like an ink cartridge an flush with mains water so that the water comes out the nib). :-)

[@sbrebrown]

+Redstone 1963 That's a good suggestion, thanks!

[@Fluware]

This dude's hand writing is so good!

[@lupac3193]

Hey, nice video. Do you know anything about the Schneider Opus rollerball?

[@inova4556754]

I have the same one, it was about 3€ where i live. It's a nice pen, I like it, and it also comes in red, that one is also sparkly and has spiders on it, not bats

[@hossamnabilabdou4851]

nice review.. i got that FP..now this review gave it a higher value and estimation

[@routhstars]

Does the Schneider Base have the same kind of folded nib?

[@routhstars]

The nib of this pen has a sweet spot which is very smooth, but if you write at an angle then the penwrites rough. Ink flow is very good with all kinds of inks.

[@theheathen100]

Another great video, Stephen. I love the color of the ink.

[@yhkim1219]

Hi, love your videos, but can you give a link to where you can buy the pens? A lot of the pens, especially not well known ones like this or the Chinese pens are difficult to find. Thanks!

[@Aquaria]

iPenStore carries a wide variety of foreign pens. This Schneider Easy is available through them for $7.97 with $2.95 shipping from Michigan, unless you order $50 worth of goods, then the shipping is free. They also carry the red "Cobweb" version.

[@bazzroid]

Terrific review. This channel is a find!

[@Maximilian178]

Schneider exports most of their pens to China instead of producing them there. The Chinese really love that "Made in Germany" thing. I think I have read that they produce most of their fountain pens in Halle (Saale). :)

[@FunnyVideos-qs7tb]

Is it a good pen for kids at school

[@sbrebrown]

Yes, I think so.

[@katrinE3499]

hi i just bought this pen but I'm having trouble with it , the ink will not flow unless i squeeze the cartridge and even then it stops flowing if i stop using it for a minute I'm using the ink that came with the pen so I don't know what I'm doing wrong

[@sbrebrown]

Katrin Emad Maybe it would help to flush it with water and then ink it up again.

[@katrinE3499]

i flushed it twice but it didn't work i then changed the cartridge but unfortunately that didn't work either :(

[@nokhaizhcr3854]

hi I bought this pen yesterday and it's not working I tried everything but it is still not working

[@LuxJewelersLLC]

Great review! Thank you for the time you put into these videos I love them so very much! Please ignore the idiots on you tube! God bless you my friend

[@sbrebrown]

Thank you!

[@miss5050]

Nice! These kind of pens are my weakness :)))) great review, thank you Stephen.

[@muz1077]

Are Schneider ink cartridges waterproof

[@sbrebrown]

+Mu Z Not that I know of

[@IHawker60]

Stephen it is plastic so we should be able to turn it into an eyedropper eh? Thank you for your informative reviews.

[@sbrebrown]

It should be possible, yes

[@IHawker60]

Thank you sir.

[@achimdg6335]

+Michael Vargo I also think the end cap on the end of the barrel is liquit-tight, no leaking. As I've seen Stephen's reviews before, I also might have blown in the barrel, if I did, then the barrel was tight, no leakage, if I didn't do, well then I don't know of course.

[@therealcornkid]

Very nice review!

[@sherinzadakhudukhel6342]

Very good pen but cap need to upgrade.

[@MrPleers]

I expected an Easy Schneider joke.

[@Stendle]

Really not bad for the price but Schneider Base and Schneider Smart are somewhat better.

[@garidcyan7616]

That looks like a schneider voice but its a schneider easy

[@0xc0ffea]

It certainly says a lot when a cheep plastic kids pen out performs much more expensive branded items.

[@2strokeriders269]

Though many pens in the higher price range do offer a better material and filling system, the nib often is the same steel nib and so it's kind of a "russian nib roulette" if you get a smooth or scratchy nib.

[@2strokeriders269]

+2StrokeRiders *whether, sorry, I'm not a native speaker ^^

[@0xc0ffea]

The very least I would expect it a pen that works, if it doesn't do that I dont care what its made from, it's not fit for purpose :)
